T all whom it mayc'oncern Be it known that LCHARLES H. GILL, a citizen of theUnited States of America, and a resident of Chicago, county of Cook, State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stop Mechanisms for Type-Writing Machines, of which the following is a specification. I The main objects of-this invention are to provide certain improvements in typewriting machines whereby the indentation of the jfirst line of a paragraph may be accomplished automaticallyj to provide an attachment of this. kind adapted to be controlled through the usual operation of the type keys and without requiring'special attention by the operator; to provide improved -means adapted to arrest the return movement ofthe carriage at a point other than the usual marginal stopping point; to provide im: proved mechanism controlled by the operation of the period type key foractuating' said means. for arresting the carriage; and to provide improved mechanism adapted to becontrolled by the'op eration of any other type key for' -'retracting said arresting means.

.An illustrative embodiment of thisIinven- .vention, the section being. taken on the line aa of Fig. 5. Fig. 2- is an enlarged detail of the carriage arresting means. Fig. 3is a showing the relative position of the paragraph indenting attachment; Fig. 6 is a detail of a part of the retracting mechanism.

Fig. 7 is a sectional detail. showing the method of adjustihg the paragraph stop.

Inthe construction shown in the 'drawings, the typew riting machine comprises the usual frame 1'- withl'the carriage 2 mounted engagement with the ,notch's'fi on the shaft arm .11 pivotally supported at 114'- 'on' th'e of the left-hand margin on the paper, coniprises the member 4 slidably mounted on'a' rod fi'supported in the frame 1 in parallel relation to the travel of the carriage '2. The rod 5 is shown in the drawings in front of the carriage and has a row of notches Gextending throughout the range of movement ofthe member'4. A small hell cranlelever 7 is pivotally carriediby the member time I has a notched end 8 which the springi'fi shown by dotted lines in .FigQBjforces into 4' for. locking said' membeifiin any desired position on the rod A shoulder tl'cariied by the member 4 protrudes-into the path jof the shoulder or stop 10' carried, by the lever carriage 2. The shoulders 131161.10 coact to limit the movement of them i'riage 2to the right-for the purpose of liltjtltillg a mai-- gin on the paper which is being; written 'upon. By depressing. the outer end 11 of the lever arm'll, the carriage may be ,iirged beyond ltS normal limiting position as de .termined by the engagement of the shoulders 9 and '10. i

In the specific constructionfshown, the. indentation of the first line of the paragraph is accomplished by the movement of astop 7 12 into the path of'the shoulder- 10 by the depression of the period type key 3- The stop 12 is", integral on a ,sleevefl3 slidably' mounted on a square shaft 14, jou'rnaled between a lug on the rod 5 andithe frame 1. r

The sleeve 13 is guided along. the shaft 14 and held in position thereon by a block 16 adjustably carried on the member 4 by a 100 tion for engaging the shoulder 10 is effected through the medium. of the link 20 connected to. the period type key 3 and to the arm 21 rigid on the shaft 14. The slot 22 in the upper end of the link 20, in which the arm 21 travels, allows the type key 3 to return to its normal. position without necessarily causing the return of the arm 21.

The stop 12 is held in its elevated position for engagement with the shoulder 10 by means of a detent or pin 23 (Fig. 4) becoming seated in a slot 24 in a disk. 25 secured to the frame 1 concentric with the axis of the shaft 14. Thepin 23 is forcedto bear against the disk 25 and retained in the slot 24 by a spring 26 located at the opposite end of the shaft 14 and arrangedeto bear between the shoulder 27 and the lug 15. The spring 26 is fastened to the shoulder 27 and lug 15 so as to normally urge the shaft 14 to rotate so as to retract the stop 12. i

The release of the holding means, and consequent retraction of the stop 12, is accomplished by the depression of any type key, following the engagement of a dog 28 with a pawl 29. The dog- 28 is pivotally mounted at the end' of a rod 30 pivotally carried by an arm 31 ri id on the shaft 14, and oppositely disposed relatively of the arm 21. A spring 32 fixed on the rod 30 v bears against the dog 28 and urges it rear- Wardly against a pin 33. An eye 34 fixed on the frame 1 engages the rod 30 adjacentto its upper end and serves as a fulcrum for the rod. This eye is so located that as the arm-31 swings upward the upper -end of the rod 30 moves upward and forward and thus causes thelower end of the rod to be moved rearwardly; This brings the dog 28 into position to coact with the pawl 2 The pawl 29 is shown in the drawings connected to a shaft 35 which is rocked by the movement of each type key. This, as

shown, may be the same rock shaft which in many of the usual typewriters operates the carriage esca. ement indicated diagrammatically at C. i torsion spring 36 envelops the shaft 35 at one end and normally urges the pawl to the positionshown in full lines in ig. 1. Each type key lever 3 is connected to the shaft 35 by means of a link 37- which has one end connected to an inwardly disposed arm 38, rigid on the shaft 35, and the other end operating in a slot 39 in the lever 3. The slot 39 is provided so that depression of one type key will not affect the other type keys.

The operation of the attachment is as follows :-The block 16 is locked on the member 4 at a point which will give the desired indentation of the first line of the paragraph when the stop 12 is brought into position to eoactwith the shoulder 10. Upon the Cornpletion of each sentence a period is, of course, always placed after the lastword. The depression of the period type key 3 causes the link 20 to draw the arm 21 downwardly, thereby turning shaft 14 and elevating the stop 12 into the path of the shoulder 10. i

The in 23 enters the slot 24 in the disk 25 and is held there by the spring 26. Simultaneously with this movement, the arm 31 travels upwardly, and the upper end of the rod 30 moves upward and forwardly relatively of the machine, causing the rod 30 to swing on its fulcrum 34 and to move the lower end rearwardly .to the position indicated in dotted outline in Fig. 1. The shaft 35, through its connection with the period type key 3, is Pocked as the key is depressed and the pawl 29 is urged downwardly below the advancing edge of the dog 28. Upon the release of the type key the spring 36 urges the pawl 29 to its elevated position, the dog 28 being allowed by the spring 32 to retract to permit the pawl 29 to pass to its position for engaging the upper face of the dog. If theend of the sentence is the end of the paragraph, the operator pushes the carriage 2 to the right. The stop 12 being in the path of the shoulder 10 abuts against it and arrests the'return movement of the carriage at the point previously determined by the setting of the block 16. The operator then continues to write and the depression of type key, or the'spaee bar, forces the pawl 29 downwardly, through the medium of the link 37, arm 38 and shaft 35. The pawl gives the thrust. This thrust is transmitted through the rod 30 and arm 31 to turn the shaft 14 to release the pin 23 from the notch 24, whereupon the spring 26 urges the stop to its normally retracted position. If however, the end of the sentence is not the end of the paragraph, the operator instinctively strikes the space bar, after having depressed the period type key, which causes the retraction of the stop 12 in the manner just described.

It may sometimes happen that the end of a sentence which is not the end of a paragraph comes at the end of the line. The stop 12 would, of course, beelevated, and upon returning the carriage 2 for writing a new line, the operator knowing that the dog 28 a downward next line was not to be the beginning of a ping position. Under this'qircuinstance,the"

operator would depress the outer end 11 of the lever arm 11, thereby lifting the shoulder 10 out of its normal path and allow the carriage to be pushed back to its regular starting point as determined by engagement of the shoulders 9 and 10; or the operator could depress the space bar which would retractthe stop 1.2 and then the carriage could be pushed to its regular starting point.
